Riggers and myself are having our days out in East / North Yorkshire, but they feel so "everyday" as to not warrant telling you all about. We've had a week near Keswick in May with our usual mob, but it pissed it down all week, so nothing to show really. Unfortunately I had to miss the annual Scottish trip this 'cos wifey was in hospital, but I promise some pics from our next stop at Northallerton for a week.
If your still riding good luck and if you're not, remember the good times.
Over the last few weeks I've been going through some training to become a tutor with our RoSPA group. One classroom session and a couple or rides in so far. Got a few nice "day" rides coming up this week and next where we're venturing down into Essex and up into Lincolnshire. Doing my bit to show a 20 year old 900 is all that's needed and not a fully dressed GS :-)

Thereâs an advanced social group Iâm a member of thatâs invite only, the bulk of the membership are ex or current serving police motorcyclists. The chances of me leaving them all behind are quite slim. Opposite way round  would think.Â

We were out on a day ride a few weeks back where I was leading a group of about 4/5. At the first coffee stop, one of the group suggested I wasnât riding with my usual âpepâ. TBH, I was just enjoying the ride and concentrating on smoothness, but I applied more pep fro the next leg. Same guy commented at the lunch stop and said it was more like me (weâd caught the gr out in front of us fairly quickly and made up the 5 min or so head start they had on us.Â
